You are right that 'qmake', as an alternative either pointing to
version 3 or version 4, is useless when called from a script (eg. from
debian/rules). But as a shortcut when used manually, it's perfectly fine
IMHO.

What about documenting that scripts should use qmake-qt3 or qmake-qt4,
and make it a bug if a build script calls qmake?
